    Another Option

    Found this while doing a little surfing. Looks like it might match up better for those who dont want to open up the stock intake. Dual 60mm.

    That looks like a really nice Throttle Body!
    Twin 60mm is almost exactly 11% more area than the OEM Twin 57mm TB.
    I wonder if that corresponds to a 11% increase in flow?....maybe more?...
    They claim that the OEM TB flows 1089 cfm.
    I was considering the BBK Twin 62mm or Twin 65mm TBs, but as mentioned, the upper intake needs to be port matched to them.

    Ummm...Yeah. I thought that since you were introducing the item for discussion, you would explain how the 400 bucks will improve performance over the stock TB, but nevermind.

    I can fix this. I can make your wish come true. Send me a refund, I'll ship the badge out to Dave tomorrow.

    Meanwhile, I won't post what's wrong about this upgrade.

    I never gave or asked for opinions on this as an upgrade. I simply stated that it is another option. When doing a search, as many new members are told to do, you can see that quite a few have changed throttle bodies, for whatever reason. Whos to say this cant be done just for the bling factor? I personally dont care what you think of this as a mod. For some reason you have had some sort of problem with anything I post lately, whether it is the content, or the forum it is posted in. If you still got a problem, give me a call.

    Excuse me, I misunderstood the purpose of this forum "Discussions about the Marauder". I thought mods got talked about from all directions, the good, the bad, the bling...That was my question and my purpose here to begin with. Simple question, what are the benefits? The rest of it came from you. It's done now, peace my friend.

    Maybe these will answer your question. Pay particular attention to your replies:
